Upgrading or buying a new machine
Hello all,
Hope this is the right place to ask.
These are my machine specs:
Mainboard : Abit IP35-E (Intel P35+ICH9/R)
Chipset : Intel P35
Processor : Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 @ 2400MHz
Physical Memory : 2048MB (2 x 1024 DDR2-SDRAM )
Video Card : NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GTS 512
88E8056 PCIe Gigabit Ethernet Controller
Operating System : Microsoft Windows XP Professional 5.01.2600 Service Pack 3 (32-bit)
DirectX : Version 9.0c
The question is - is it worth it to upgrade some of the system components (GPU, RAM etc.) or to buy a new machine completely?
I was thinking of installing 8GB RAM and replacing the GPU (though I don't know if my PSU and PCIE are up to the newer cards).
what do you say?
